I know nothing about this, but we do have a few expert members who know how to do this. Maybe this bump will catch their attention.

Perhaps point them to the directions/ where you got the installer package (web page) that you are using for the installation.

It looks like you don't have the libgtk libraries installed that allow compiling packages (applications). Take a look at this post to see what the problem could be and a possible solution.
